Khaleef Chiles (born May 6, 1982)[1] was a contestant on Season 1 of American Idol.

Audition[]

Khaleef's segment was not televised, but he auditioned in Los Angeles, where he purportedly sang "My Cherie Amour" by Stevie Wonder.[1]

Hollywood Round[]

Khaleef was shown in a group with R.J. Helton during the second part of Hollywood Week, in which Khaleef is captured visibly forgetting his lyrics. Despite this, each member of his group advanced past that stage. He was next shown during the final solo rounds, singing "Daydream Believer" by The Monkees. Later on, he managed to make the Top 30.

Top 30[]

Khaleef was in Group 3, and reprised his audition song choice, "My Cherie Amour" by Stevie Wonder. He did not receive enough votes to make the Top 10, thus eliminating him from the competition.
